The 2017 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle closed out one of the boldest chapters in Harley history — the last model year for the drag-strip-bred V-Rod line before it was retired. Power comes from the liquid-cooled Revolution 1250, a 60-degree V-twin that spins higher and smoother than any air-cooled Big Twin, feeding a low, blacked-out chassis riding on a fat 240mm rear tire. What it never got was a factory screen. Add the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2017 V-Rod Muscle finally gets wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to match its drag-bike attitude.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

The V-Rod Muscle was built to look and ride like nothing else in the Harley lineup — a stretched-out, low-slung stance, a massive rear tire pulled straight from drag racing, and a liquid-cooled Revolution engine that made it the quickest-revving cruiser Harley ever built. It's aggressive, modern, and completely unlike the traditional touring or Softail formula, which is exactly why so many riders still hunt down a clean 2017 example today.The HogPlay Media Screen fits that same no-nonsense approach: a compact 7-inch unit that clamps to the handlebars, taps into power and ground, and mounts reversibly so it sits right regardless of your bar setup. No dash cutting, no stock console to hack apart — just a clean install that brings modern navigation and phone integration to a bike that never had it from the factory.
